We give tips about activities for children!

Skansen

Here is much things for kids, you can play indoors and play outdoors. Visit Little-Skansen which is open indoors throughout the year. Skansen offers pony riding, theater, circus, fairy tales and songs and more.

Visit Galejan and Skansens train where the children can test the old carousel from the 20th century. See the calendar of
children's activities in Skansen. Children's theater, school activities and a visit to the
aquarium where you can pat a spider or a shark is an exciting experience.

Lovely big surfaces and you do not learn everything in one day! One tip is to bring food and drinks that cover a few meals during the day. You will also pass many playgrounds in the area.

Of course there are restaurants, ice cream, etc. Entrance fee, but free admission for children under 6 years.

Culture House for children/StadsteaternOn the fourth floor of Kulturhuset you will find "Rooms for children". For the little kids to those
who are a bit bigger. Here, for the most part, here are a lot of people. Instead of going up to
see if it's full, there's a stoplight in the window that you can see from Sergels Torg.
Is it green = no queue, Red = full and a looong queue.

Museum of Natural History
For the children who are a bit older ... Here are exciting things: history of dinousaries, what lives in the water, who eat what, meteorites and gems, giant octopus, kids club and much more.

The children can also go down to Barnverkstaden in the ground floor for approx 30 sv kr and take a ride, draw, paste etc. Staff are on site and help. Or why not help Skogsmulle find his feather, for children 4-6 years.

Here is also Cosmonova. Here you will see movies and you surround yourself with sound and image under a
large dome-shaped cloth, 23 meters in diameter and 760 square feet, with space for 265 people. Cool!

Restaurant with children's menu. Free entrance to all exhibitions. Fee to Cosmonova.

Sjöhistoriska Museet
Here the children can come and play and enjoy themselves. In the Creator Workshop, Ruskpricken,
you can have fun with your children. For children between 0-8 years you

about the wisdom and labels of the sea.

In the food room you can sit undisturbed and eat your own food. There is a small kitchen with micro and highchairs.Café is available with a pancake buffet from Aug onwards.

Police Museum
For you that likes policemen! Come here, and drive a little police car or police motorcycle.
Dress up to a police officer and talk to in the police radio and turn on the juice mixer. On Saturdays & Sundays,
there are different shows with movies or appearances about the Police. Also try to find little
Lo that has been lost in the museum (for children between 6-10 years).

traffic jams. Helmet is included in the price. (Mid April - mid October)

Exhibitions for children aged 5-9 years.Children & youth even 19 years free admission. Other entrance fee.

City Library
Books, books, books. Always cozy with books. There is a children's section and very organized for
children. Why not come here a Sat / Sun for a weekend break. The library also offers fairy tales,
a place for the really small children 0-2 years with different offerings.

Aquaria
Animals in quantities in the water. Visit the haunt tunnel and watch the sharks as
they swim above your head. Other lovely animals are clownfish, masonry, sea horse,
piraeus, sting rays and more.

Visit the rainforest that has +28 degrees and look into the Nordic environment that shows
you environments with char, sea trout, crayfish and more.

Junibacken
Take the boat to Djurgården and go to Junibacken. Here are almost all of Astrid Lindgren's figures,
Mumintrollen, Villa Villerkulla on a whole floor with Pippi' Longstockings house, Sagotorget with figures
like Alfons Åberg, the Princess, Pettson & Findus.

Children can climb, walk into houses, go skiing and bikes etc. When there are a lot
of people, it's hard to keep an eye on where the kids are heading.

You are in the house of different worlds. You pass a souvenir shop and arrive at the restaurant where
you can pause with some coffee or food. Then proceed to Pipp's house above the restaurant.
On different occasions, theater is also played.

When you pay entry, you will get a specific time to go with the Story Train. It does not take place so many at a time
in the train, therefore, special times are decided. As you slowly go by the train, slowly
passing different fairy tales from Astrid Lindgren's various bookes. It's Astrid who
talks about the characters. Very well done!

There are safety boxes where you can add your stuff. You are not allowed to eat your food that you
have brought with you. Strollers must be locked on the outside, locks are available for purchase. Tip, bring a lock yourself.

A cozy place for the children with different places to play. We have visited Junibacken in the middle of
July and then there were very many people! Nice with the opportunity to watch theater and we think the
Story Train was the best. The kids wanted to go again but it did not work. Pippi's house the also liked very much.
